Why it's worth checking out
The Baso sits on Cohen Street in Belconnen, Canberra's busy northern town centre. A live-music venue, it's become a genuine fixture of the local scene — combining a great line-up of gigs and events with good drinks and a fun, characterful atmosphere, the kind of vibrant spot that's a hub for live music in Canberra's north.
The appeal is that combination of a great live-music program, a buzzing atmosphere and a convenient Belconnen location, ideal for catching a gig, a fun night out or settling in for some live entertainment. The focus on live music gives it a real point of difference, and it's clearly become a beloved part of the local music scene.
With a 4.6 rating from more than 800 reviews, it's clearly a firm favourite. The live-music and events program, opening hours, drinks and any ticketing vary entirely with what's on, so it's worth checking the current line-up before you go — particularly for a specific gig or event — though for a drink and a taste of the atmosphere, it's often just a matter of dropping in at Belconnen.
